Scheherazade is a piece I’ve been listening to a lot along with reading from The Arabian Nights and Firdawsi’s Shahnameh. I couldn’t help help but recognize the similarities between my recent paintings and Persian rug design.

I had this painting saved on my iPad but only today gave it any time in contemplation. The artist was Helene Sophia Schjerfbeck… a Finnish painter.

I wonder whether she admired Sargent. I feel his presence in that painting.

Yes… I initially thought it was by Sargent.

I just recently stumbled upon the paintings of the Japanese artist, Kosuke Ajiro. Ajiro was born in 1980 and studied at the
Kuwasawa Design School, Visual Design Course. His paintings are inspired by Japanese scroll paintings, European medieval painting and tapestry, Hieronymus Bosch, and "outsider"/folk art from around the world.
Honestly, I am absolutely enthralled with these paintings.

I stumbled upon the British-Iranian artist, Hana Shahnavaz on Pinterest. I couldn’t find many other works by her, but I quite like this painting. Like many Islamic/Persian paintings it strikes me like an exquisite illustration of the Arabian Nights, the Shanameh, or even Western faerie tales.

Taking a shine to Bato Dugarzhapov a Russian painter. If you look at the art of Barry John Raybould you can see the influence he has had on Raybould. Interesting to read about Bato ..

I really enjoyed this one I saw on the weekend in the De Young museum in San Francisco. Unfortunately I don't remember the name or who made it. I should have photo'd the plaque. It's a large oil painting. I love the lighting and the fine detail. There's so many tiny details when you really examine it up close.

Actually, also at De Young, I enjoyed the Battle of Pavia tapestries. There's seven of them, and all are on display together at the museum right now. They're 27 by 14 feet in size each. The tapestries commemorate Holy Roman Emperor Charles V’s 1525 victory over French King Francis I during the 16th-century Italian Wars and were designed by court artist Bernard van Orley (1487–1541).
Here's a few photos I found on google, as I didn't take photos myself because a tour was in the room examining them with us and I didn't want to get in their way.
They're really impressive. I don't know where you'd even begin weaving something so elaborate. They had some of the original design sketches on display as well. Really neat.

Well, that would be fabulous to see. so much to discover in those paintings. What task painting that!
In 2016 I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) to see Mystical Landscapes. An astounding show. Here is the description.
What a variety that demonstated man’s encounters of the spiritual, through different paths.
I fell in love with this quieter piece. It was not large compared to some of the other paintings. But I definitely felt drawn into that yard at twilight. I practically could feel and smell the green, the quieting of evening with nightfall approaching. The cooler air suggesting dew in morning.
I would absolutely love to buy the book the gallery put out of this show, that shows everything, but the price is unbelievable. It was high then and it’s higher now. $499 Which is a great shame. The surprise of the show for me were some pieces that were painted during the war for the Canadian government by our future famous artists- and they actually fit into the premise (MacDonald for ex). The cost of war. They were incredibly moving. But there were all kinds of styles and a wonderful list of artist. It was wonderful seeing their approaches to this part of our human experience.
Here’s a more descriptive and enjoyable article about this show.
When I see pictures of this on the Internet, I see some where the flowers look white and there’s more color. But I remember it being this green when my face was 1 foot away from the painting.
